Peddlar's Cart - free to a good library or museum home
The Peddlar's Cart in the photos is free to a good library or museum home. The Friends of the Roseville Public Library purchased the Peddlar's Cart to use as a prop to promote the Friends and their activities in 1998 from the Otto Building Company in Burton, Michigan. The Friends stopped using it approximately 10 years ago and it has been in the Library's (dry) basement since. It is in good shape with some scarring on the white laminated surface. It has two small drawers and a cubby that lock (keys are are available) for storage. These carts from Otto Building were sold to other libraries across the country for the same "display" purpose including the Alexandrian Public Library in Indiana. I have a folder that includes the original invoice and blueprints for the cart. Measurements: length - 60" height to the top of the slatted canopy - 79" width - 28" The cart is very heavy and does not move easily, however you can move it short distances safely. The Friends rarely moved it from the lobby. I could not see a way to easily remove the four canopy supports and the canopy for transport. It may have to be transported in one piece. You must be able to move it into your vehicle as we may not always have assistance available. The blueprints and a copy of the invoice with the name of the manufacturer go with the cart. The Roseville Public Library building is currently being prepared for renovation and the cart must go in preparation for contractors to begin the demolition of the interior. If you would like the cart, it must be picked up by July 31. I'll send a message if/when the cart is claimed.

Hi Jackie, CMPL is tentatively interested. We've been working with LDA on a similar concept for our lobby. Our design would have more capacity but I like that this could be moved and the price is right if it doesn't work out. Can I get back to you tomorrow? Hope all is going well with your big project!

If it doesn't work out, I'd be interested as well. On Tue, Jul 8, 2025 at 8:16 PM Larry Neal via Michlib-l <michlib-l@mcls.org> wrote:

This would really really come in handy for our upcoming book sale if no one else can claim it. Thank you! :) On Wed, Jul 9, 2025 at 6:47 PM marion Library <madistrictlibrary@gmail.com> wrote:
